Talbott
Monterey County, California
An exceptional Pinot that received 92 points from Wine Enthusiast and notoriously hard to please Robert Parker
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Talbott
Kali Hart Pinot Noir
An excellent Pinot Noir that has already taken home 92 points from Wine Spectator and notoriously hard to please critic Robert Parker. Named after the Talbott’s youngest daughter, the Kali Hart wines see minimal oak. According to Andy Abraham, Wine Ambassador for Robert Talbott Vineyards is “a pure fruit expression of the vineyard,” which is evident in the 2017 Pinot Noirs beautiful aromas and flavors. The founder, Robert Talbott, strives to meld the ripeness of California Pinot with the elegant balance of Burgundy, resulting in what Abraham calls “a marriage of the two.” Bright and easy, this is a ‘go-to’ wine at a ‘go-to’ price point.

WINE REGION:
Monterey County
Not to be confused with Monterey AVA, Monterey County is a larger designation that also includes the Carmel and San Antonio valleys, among others. Encompassing three distinct zones at the northern end of the Central Coast, Monterey County produces vast amounts of high-quality Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and Pinot Gris. For reds, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon have often been replaced by Pinot Noir, Syrah and Grenache in recent years. These cooler-climate grapes achieve greatness through the influence of Monterey Bay, which pushes cold fogs and chilly afternoon winds down the Salinas Valley, tempering the sun's heat and allowing a long, moderate ripening season.

TASTING NOTES:
Fresh Herbs
Cherry
Vanilla
Kali Hart is a fruit-forward expression of their estate vineyards. Approachable and bright, this complex Pinot Noir opens with aromas of cherry, cola, and hints of vanilla. On the palate, notes of rich berries are supported by hints of oak and soft, silky tannins. The finish is clean with hints of minerality, herbs, and French oak.
